Oh I'd be cursing up a storm if I were in your position MM. In a world governed by technology and all of it's advancements, it seems quite ludicrous that they haven't been able to hook you up yet. Don't they know you're missed here in blogland. Rude! xo

I'd wondered where you'd got to. I've been having intermittent issues with my optus home internet for the past few months. It likes to randomly shut off at various times in the early evening, but it always comes back on although sometimes not until the next day! Good luck in sorting yours out.

I must say that, even though I hate them, I stick with telstra. I tried other providers, including Optus, and ultimately had zero satisfaction.

Telstra have quite picked up their game. When I called with internet problems a few weeks ago they were there that day, called and told me it was a major problem and offered me a wi-fi modem pre-paid widget thing as I couldn't live without the internet.

Also, have found that if I say I want to speak with someone in Australia they'll put me through. Bliss.
